Aptenia ‘Mezoo’ Trailing (Dorotheanthus) is a vibrant, trailing succulent known for its small, glossy green leaves edged in creamy white variegation and its bright red, daisy-like flowers. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, and as a groundcover, where it creates a dense, cascading mat of color and texture. Drought-tolerant and sun-loving, it performs well in warm conditions and adds a cheerful, tropical feel to seasonal plantings. In Manitoba, it is grown as a warm-season annual, as it is not frost-tolerant.
